Song used: My Immortal by Evenessence
I own Nothing.
The funeral was a closed casket one. The main reason for this was because there was no body. The security cameras had been tampered with and the docotors said there was no point in looking; Murdoc was a famous person and whoever took his body was probably far gone and selling it on the internet. As horrible as that sounded, there were people out there like that.
It was surprizing how many people actually came. Murdoc's brother, past girlfriends, old friends (yes, he has friends), old band mates, and a few collabortaors had shown up, even Murdoc's father was there, though he mainly sat at the back of the room with his hands jammed in his pockets.
In honor of their fallen friend, Gorillaz decided to perform one final song in memory of the man. They didn't do one of their own songs, rather, one they had all agreed on.
My Immortal By Evenessence.
The reason they chose this one was because Murdoc was always bragging about how he had sold his soul and was basically immortal. Though he was later proven wrong, he would always be immortal one way or another.
Noodle asked if she could sing this one, her english was imporvining, and this was something Murdoc would be proud of.
Walking up next to the casket, 2D began slowly playing the tune of the song on a keyboard that had been set up. He closed his eyes as he played. Russel began a slow drum riff, and Noodle walked up to the microphone stand.
"I'm so tired of being here..." Her voice was a little shaky, "I'm surpressed by all my childish fears...And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave, your presense still lingers here and it won't leave me alone..." Her gaze fell on the casket, "These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there's just too much that time can not earase...When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears, and I held your hand through all of these years but you still have...all of me...You used to captivate me by your resinating light, now I'm bound by the life you left behind, your face it haunts my once pleasent dreams, your voice it chased away all the sanity in me...These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real, there's just too much that time can not earse..." Noodle sang the chorus a second time, then entered into the bridge.
"I've tried so hard to tell my self that you're gone...But though you're still here...I've b-been..." Noodle's voice began to break so badly that 2D had to sing with her to help her finish the song.
"Alone all along, when you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears, when you screamed I'd fight away all of your fears, and I held you hand for all of these years but you still have...all of me...me...me..." Noodle's voice trailed off and Russel ended the drum riff. 2D played the last few meassures of the song then turned the key board off.
With nothing left to be said, the band exited the funeral hall. Little did they know, Murdoc was trying to get out of hell to get to them.
